Brandon Bucklen, Ph.D. Candidate
Interests:
Brandon Bucklen is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Bioengineering at
Rice University, Houston, TX. He received his B.S. degree in Mechanical
Engineering from Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA. His current research interests are
in computational biology with special focus on tissue engineering and the
mechanobiology of hard connective tissue. The title of my thesis is:
" Investigation of Surface Mechanical Environment as an Optimization
Criterion for Improved Tissue Engineering Scaffolds"
